How can they call that play in that situation? At least burn some clock and run to the wide side before stupidly going out.

So if this goes to OT i don't like our chances.

No kicker
Bad RZ offense

The game is right here

That time out just gives Iowa a chance to think and not let the clock add the pressure.

Wow, just checked and see that the Moose had visited my raspberry patch last night.
That makes the Moose 5 for 5.

Huh? We hadn't beaten them there since 2009, with losses in 2011, 2013 and 2014.

So what? We seem to win there when we seem to have no business winning. I thought we would lose, but there was always that little Kinnick factor that seem to be lingering in the back of my mind. Plus we were way overdue.

I don't know - I thought we were equally matched with them today, and we pulled off the victory. Certainly not a game "we had no business winning".

Up through 2010, we really had Iowa's number, but since then, we had had only one win before today. I don't see a Kinnick factor as much as just a solid win against a comparable opponent.

Well, the losses to WMU and ISU are still open wounds around here, so given the recent beat downs from Ioa, a victory today seemed like a very long shot.

I don't think the sack was a facemark. I think he got ahold of his collar and the QB put his chin down.

I did not see face mask. Maybe horse collar but it was close. The pass interference non call could have gone either way as well. Don't think there is face guarding in college and it was bang bang on contact. That both endued up as non calls definitely did not hurt. But calls were missed the other way as well. Holding, block in the back etc.

How bad can they be? They won 12 games last year.

We're not good. We're a game down in the race for our division.

You guys won. Beat us on D (you got more stops than we did). Allow us 3 Vegas points for the officiating.
